Knowledge of customs and tax regulations: Who is concerned?

There is often a perception that laws are the domain of lawyers, taxes are the domain of accountants and financiers, profits are the domain of salespeople, and so on. Is this the right approach? The purpose of this article is to examine why knowledge of customs and tax regulations is important not only for lawyers and financial experts, but also for other employees, especially directors, managers and other supervisors. The article is based on a presentation given on the occasion of the launch of the MBA programme ‘Customs Process Management’ at Vytautas Magnus University.
